Jama Masjid blast: 3 IM men move court for bail

Three suspected operatives of banned Indian Mujahideen (IM), arrested for allegedly supplying explosives used for carrying out a blast near Jama Masjid here in September 2010, today approached a Delhi court seeking bail. In their bail application, Syed Ismail Afaaque, Abdus Saboor and Riyaz Ahmed Sayeedi said they be granted the relief as they were not required for further probe as the charge-sheet has already been filed in the case. The court has fixed May 30 for hearing arguments on the application which claimed the accused persons were innocent and had not committed any offence. The accused claimed in their plea “it is an admitted case of the prosecution that during investigation, no material/ evidence was found by the police qua the applicants.”  “Even in the disclosure statements of co-accused, there is no reference of the applicants and the only material against them is the disclosure statements of the applicants-accused which is not admissible in evidence,” the application said.
